Jay Banerjee "("Ban-er-jee." Just Like It's Spelled)"

(www.jaybanerjee.net) As I wrote when the preview ep came out, this is the perfect album cover, Jay looking weird and creepy in a kissing booth, because despite the bubblegum-ish pop making you feel tingly all over his gloriously imperfect voice makes everything a little weird and freaky --- like a kissing booth worker giving the evil eye. Hearing a full-length of hook-laden, sweet power pop-sicles makes me want to classify Jay as a cousin of M.O.T.O.'s Paul Caporino, minus the wild rock abandon. Should change his name to Banerjeenius!
